Jonathan ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Interesting Reagan-iana show on FMU right now. Kinda fun, kinda horribly depressing.
Well, he was the nephew of Willard Van Orman Quine. Maybe someone at cnn.com is hella into set theory.
As always the Doc has her finger on the pulse of the nation. To paraphrase the King of All Media, "What does America want? Lesbians, lesbians, set theory and lesbians!" (Appears to be a natural affinity there.) Hard to believe she's not running a network.
I'm listening now, but I missed most of it. I should have known Ken would do something interesting.
Great playlist!
haven't heard it but I don't get the piano & sandbox reference.
Aw c'mon, that's not obscure. Brian Wilson? Post-Smile?
I just googled myself and came up with not one, but two websites for chick folksingers with variants (Katie and Katherine) on my name. Suddenly I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

Or maybe you just need a new name. How about Tigerina McSlappy!

I like it.

It's already been archived (same link).
Brian Wilson? Post-Smile?
Sorry. Don't get it.
Sorry. Don't get it.
Dude, they even had a skit about it on SNL. During Brian's Eugene Landry days he'd sit at the piano which was set in a giant sandbox. He'd sit there with his feet in the sand while trying to write.

Only if you try to go into folk singing.
I'm assuming that Jon is screwing with me. For anyone who really doesn't get it, this link should clear things up.
The Smile sessions were, for the most part, a playful and experimental group of songs that veered wildly into some comical, yet beautiful moments. Brian had his piano set-up inside a sandbox in his living-room and he had the entire crew don toy fire helmets for the recording of Ms. O'Leary's Cow. Songs like Vega-tables giddily extolled the virtues of our plant friends, while Heroes and Villians told the story of a happy family man looking back on his wild west days. Cabinessence was (vaguely) about railroads, and Do You Like Worms was about western expansion by colonialists. Smile's most beautiful tracks were the airy Wind Chimes, and Wonderful, a moving song about a young girl's loss of virginity.

Before the fall, it feels like a race against time, a race to get songs like "Good Vibrations" and "God Only Knows" from Wilson's head onto records before he succumbs to the years of playing a piano in a sandbox or staying in bed day after day.
And those are two of the first that pop up after a brief google search.
